Don't you hear the voices from within?
We can get away tonight
We can get away tonight
We can get away tonight
We can get away tonight

Someone act like a fool, we will be alright
Even if someone behaves recklessly, we will be fine

This gorgeous, lush synth pop 80’s retro awesomeness takes my breath away, every time I listen to it. Makes me feel like it’s 1985 and I’m 16 yrs old again! Amazing.

I have a feeling im just going to accept this album as a "Roosevelt can do no wrong" sort of thing and just put it on when im cleaning the house or something.
